This is the best-preserved church ensemble in Isabela although its convento is in ruins.
The church can be considered to be the best and most artistic brick structure in the Philippines.
The delicate brickwork is evident in the church itself and also in the cylindrical,
confectionery-like bell tower (a later addition). In the convento's vaulted ceiling may
still be seen impressions of the mats that were used as forms to mold wet plaster
during construction. A low, undulating brick wall circumscribes the front garden.
